What Does a Website Cost in Switzerland? Honest Figures 2026

Anyone searching for website prices finds mostly one thing: “It depends on your requirements.” True, but it helps no one. So here are the honest ranges, as we know them from the Swiss market.

The four paths and their prices

Website builder (Wix, Squarespace, Jimdo): CHF 0 to 500 to start, then CHF 20 to 60 per month. You build it yourself, pay rent and stay a tenant. Over five years that adds up to CHF 1,800 to 3,600, for a website that in the end does not belong to you.

Freelancer: a one-off of roughly CHF 1,500 to 8,000. A wide range, wide differences in quality. The most common risk: the freelancer builds on a website builder or a maintenance-heavy system, and is no longer reachable in two years.

Classic agency: a one-off of roughly CHF 10,000 to 50,000+. Here, alongside the website, you also pay for project management, workshops and interim presentations. That can be worth it, but often a lot of the budget goes into coordination rather than work.

Coded website from the developer (our path): a one-off from roughly CHF 5,000 for a focused company website. Multilingual sites or websites with special features (pricing calculators, bookings) are correspondingly higher. After that: no mandatory costs. Hosting is optional at a fixed CHF 300 per year, and we bill changes by effort at CHF 180 per hour.

The five-year math

A website builder’s monthly fee looks small, it just never stops. A coded website costs more at the start and after that only what you want. Depending on what your website has to deliver, the math tips surprisingly fast. Bottom line: you pay once, plus optional hosting from CHF 1,500 over five years, and in the end everything is yours. You will find the detailed comparison with every line item in our website builder comparison.

What the price really depends on

Not on the number of pages alone, but on four questions: how many languages? Which features (forms, calculators, bookings)? How much text and image work is needed? And: is there an existing website whose content and Google rankings have to be carried over?

When you do not need us

Honestly: if you only want a digital business card, address, opening hours, three photos, and the website plays no role for your business, take a website builder. That is then the more sensible choice, and we will tell you so in the first conversation.

Find out your concrete price

Flat prices without a look at the project are not serious, which is why we work with a short pricing calculator: a few questions, two minutes, and you get an honest initial assessment with a fixed price. No obligation and without you having to prepare anything.
